  • This third helping of quirked-out indie from San Francisco’s RPV is a

    bleakly beautiful affair, dealing mainly with the death of frontman

    Chad Bidwell’s father. Lyrically, it’s oblique and perceptive rather

    than relentlessly gloomy; musically, it’s endlessly inventive, managing

    to slip effortlessly between elegy and abrasion without a single

    stumble. Think Smog fronting Sonic Youth and you’re somewhere near.
